tea time with the professors ☕️
Honestly, what particularly breaks my heart even more about Domi and her character is just the… almost thoughtless, lighthearted way Domi’s family are hurting her. Their treatment of her is depicted different from how bad families are normally depicted in media. Veronica and Antoine don’t seem to go out of their way to hurt Domi or put much effort into persecuting her, they just don’t really think of her at all until she happens to be there at the moment. In a way, it probably hurts Domi even more, the way she is completely invisible to them.
They don’t consciously ignore her or insult her - and it’s exactly these little, dismissive moments that hurt the most. For her siblings, Domi doesn’t even seem worth any kind of attention, whether positive or negative.
Louis may have been tossed aside and erased from the family tree, but their treatment of Domi isn’t much different except for the fact they at least acknowledge her as a De Sade.
And it’s something I just - well, appreciate seems like the wrong word, but these inconspicious kinds of abuse are rarely shown and properly adressed or taken seriously in media, they aren’t dramatic, grand moments that everyone from a mile away can recognize as abusive. Instead, they are quiet, almost blink-and-you-miss-it, yet just as much hurtful, and sometimes even more messy to deal with because it takes people so much longer to realize and recognize it as harmful.
And the perhaps lack of ‘malice’ with which the De Sade siblings treat Domi makes it just worse, the way they keep smashing and shattering her confidence without a single care in the world.
It’s a silent killer, one Domi had been suffering under for years.
‘why can’t they just be friends’ not in the dudebro way to discredit queer ships but in the ‘friendship can be just as fulfilling as romance and the immense affection and trust been two charas doesn’t need to be solely perceived as romantic, but in that same breath if you don’t like it as a romance, the bond still shouldn’t be downplayed or turned into something lesser than it is so you can say ‘see !! see they’d never date cause they don’t care abt each other!!’ while completely distorting their characters’ way
i hate that i have to clarify that what i’m about to write is not a ship post, i am capable of enjoying two characters relationship as very good friends and not only a romantic relationship despite my handle. but anyway.
people who hate laios/kabru so much they start ignoring the fact he essentially becomes laios’s best friend along with marcille by the end of the manga are kinda funny. you know you don’t have to ship them to acknowledge they become very close buddies right. kabru has his Red best friends(rin and laios), while laios has his Blue best friends(marcille and kabru)
even before they become close, kabru just has unwavering faith for him even if he didn’t entirely trust him. there’s about two times he says “i’ll leave it all to you, laios!” verbatim.
then kabru stays behind to help them finish what remains of faligon long after his party leaves. he’s weaved himself into the party so much, he’s included in a couple of touden party sketches and some that don’t even include namari or toshiro. he enjoys planning laios’s meetings that he has sparkles in his eyes. he gets legitimately upset when laios suggests something stupid to his corpse after he dies. he thought laios was testing him when laios asked if he could stay by his side(because he was already doing it!!)
laios provides a safe environment for him to do something he loves and highly values his opinions, and in turn he makes laios not feel stupid. claiming that laios is his bumbling pawn or hes gonna leave melini for whatever reason is essentially AU fan fiction disguised as meta posts. how can you claim to be a fan of him and… not even trust his intentions? laios even tells marcille that kabru makes for a better king than he does, so i imagine it was brought up at some point and kabru was very against the idea.
as much as i think the conniving vizier jokes were mildly funny until it got old, he is really just a good person who believes in laios’ abilities as a ruler. even if he has to whisper a bajillion cheat codes to him most of the time.
Its been 738272827 years but im finally posting something again🎉
This basically started from me wanting to draw out a scenario where someone finds Malleus being the one sleeping for once but couldn't decided if I wanted Malleyuu or the brothers for it so I decided to go best of both worlds🔥
Also wanted to make something that actually showed some other parts of Micah's character since I kept most of it to myself this whole time😭 Tho it was kinda hard to cram like 3 years of chara development into 8 pages only so yeah sorryy for the months long wait again💃
Just realised that Brennan uses the same voice for Gertie Bladeshield as he does for Perry the pigeon in Unsleeping City. Nothing else to say - just obsessed with this character choice.
ok i drew the twst boys with my headcanons so i could practice drawing them BUT i dont think im EVER going to finish this (the full image is all nrc boys + staff + rollo + fellow and gidel... except i only got to malleus before i quit) so just take the only ones i am even SLIGHTLY happy with!! headcanons r under the cut!
ace: AUUGHG i actually really like this one he looks so cute. i gave him freckles ANDDD i headcanon him as filipino! (MY SEA BRETHEREN!!!! i also headcanon trey as viet but i cut him out because i hate how he turned out looking)
deuce: i gave him a few moles + he still has blond tips from his delinquent days! riddle: OHHHH BOY get ready. taking inspiration from the live action version of the queen of hearts, i tried to make his hair curlier (failed. may redo)! i also gave him the same mole, blue eyeshadow, and he wears heart-shaped lipstick!! his cheeks are also a bit rosier just because i thought it was cute. EDIT: HELP I FROGOTT O SAY THAT RIDDLE HAS FRECKLES TOO
jack: ok i dont rlly have any hcs for him im just happy with how i drew him here
leona: my.... my wife.... okay but u know whats rlly embarrassing. i sent this to a friend who knows nothing abt twst and she immediately clocked him as my favorite because of how much effort i put into him... anyway, i gave him a lipring, some earrings, a little bit of purple eyeshadow, and yellow SCLERAS***. i really like taking inspo from the great seven for the dorm leaders
ruggie: i rlly only gave him freckles but i kind of want to go back and make his hair curly...
jade: AAAUAHGG HE!!! i wanted to lean into the mer aspects so i made his earshape similar to the earfins in his merform! along with that, he has a bunch of teal markings + teal lips
azul: he actually looks. so adorable here? im going to die. anyway i gave him octo eyes + little suction cup marks! theres also the faintest smidge of eyeshadow. OH and i gave him pearl earrings just cus i think theyd be cute
floyd: same thing as jade EXCEPT i did give him a lipring and some piercings as well!!
Hair-swapped TWST Part 14
I hope this is for someone out there 😰

it’s a little amusing that baron is a he/they bc riz’s entire party likes girls. everyone in his party (except for the other aroace one) has had or is having relations with a girl. for some reason he alone decided ‘well. fuck. if i have to conform i’ll be the one who takes the fall i guess’
